and that both were recognized

occasions as such. General Auderson's
visit looked TO arrangement OF details for
the visit of his entire Fir st bri gade to the
May encampment. This will comprise
seine twenty-six or overweight com
panies of infantry, several batteries of
artillery, and probably one or more
cavalry troops. The colored companies
will comprise part of this force. Natural
ly they will not be thrown with any other
commands. and the idea of this military
service suggesting any social equality is
secuted here. General Anderson Endorsed
the stand taken by the drill committee.
Governor Lee has written to Chair
man Wheatley that he will be at the drill
to review the Virginia troops.
AdJutant-General Jones of North Caro-
lima, who is still in the city, has again in

stances. The kilograms from Montgom-

PRESS COMMENT.

New York Herald: By the way, if the
Knights of Labor, instead of squabbiinf
about politics, would unite for the en-
forcement of the laws and get few o.
these coal fiends behind the bars they
would have the good will and sympathy
of the entire community.
Boston Journal: Mr.. Cleveland in
dorsed Fellows; he Endorsed Lowering;
and he is inextricably entapgled with
German and Gormanism-in view oil
which facts 1t is time, and we believe we
have before suggested, that the notice
that the President is "better than his
party" should be laid upon the shelf
with certain other Mugwump supersli-
tons.
New York Times. Whatever questions
of abstract right and wrong may be in
volved, the people of this State. if not of
Ohio, have concluded that no good can
come of stirring up new strife and max
ing new efforts to control their own po-
litical affairs and those Of other States at
the same time. They are minding their
own business and giving othersa chance.
Philadelphia Press: Mr.. Sherman's
plan of reducing the surplus will attract
attention. Any proposition which comes
from this able statesman deserves con-
sideration. But with the highest re-
spect for his judgment he will find many
dissenting both from his idea of leaving
the whisky tax untouched, and from his
other leading point of abolishing the
duty on sugar.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1887-11-25


A WASHINGTON correspondent gives
the following interesting presidential
gossip:
The friends of Senator Sherman are
quite jubilant over the recent discovery
that NIrglnla's popular vote in the re-
cent election was republican. Senator
Malone and some other people have
been figuring up the returns and claim
this as a result, that there was actually
a small republican majority in the state
on the ballot and that the manner of
dIstricting gave the Democrats the ma
jority In the legislature. The Sherman
people count this pretty large straw in
their favor. Virginia has always been
claimed as Sherman state and that il
should have come even so near TO re-
publlcanism at this election is looked up
on as considerable point in regard to
his strength in demanding the nomina-
ton. There has been quite a boom in
Sherman stock here in the past few
days. The more the result of the late
election is talked over the more evident
1t becomes to the average politician that
the result was favorable to Sherman.
Even the Blame men themselves are
inclined TO admit that the result in New
York has been a disappointment and
has injured Mr.. Blaine's chances ma
terially. 4 prominent Maine politician,
who lives near the home of Mr.. Blaine
and is friendly with him, was frank
enough to say just little time ago that
Mr.. Blaine seemed to have lost ground
by the late elections, and that John
Sherman was the strongest man the
party could nominate. That Sher-
man is popular in New York is general
~ conceded. The general belief is that
he could get stronger support in that
State than any other candidate the par
ty could put up. 1t is further agreed
that Sherman is stronger IN the three or
four Southern States with small demo-
cratic margains than any other candi-
date mentioned.
